Took generator out on its first trip last weekend to Coral Pink Sand Dunes. It was extremely windy & sand was everywhere: on the ground, in the air, in my camper, etc. The generator did well for being constantly bashed with sand. Love the start button, so nice. I know the manual informed me about the high altitude kit, but I had fouled a plug before seeing it haha. The manual also warns to not overfill the gen w/ oil, but it didn't warn me that the kit gave too much oil...so I overfilled it...oops.
Anyways, love the convenient features: start button, quiet, wheels. Cons: big & heavy, but I'm barley able to lift it into my truck bed. The suitcase style handle & wheels help handle the weight.
Just purchased this iGen4500 generator to provide essential power for our unexpected power outages from hurricanes, freeze outages, and construction. Also plan to do a lot of back woods camping and remote location work and feel sure that this generator will do the job. Very glad to have this ready to go..
I set this up in about 20 minutes. It's great that the oil is included. It started right up. The telescoping handle makes it easy to maneuver. The remote start is a cool feature. It powered up my travel trailer with no problems.
We have only ran for 30 hours so far but it does run quite, we can sleep in are RV with it running. Disappointed that it would not run out of the box, we had to take it apart and attach some wires that came lose during shipping, apparently it is an issue and we found the fix online. Wish remote had a google between full power and low power.
